Preparation and Characterization of Prussian Blue Coated Polymeric Nanoparticles via Dispersion Polymerization Template

Progress in the preparation of Prussian blue-based nanomaterials for biomedical applications

“…Wu et al selected poly(4-vinylpyridine)/polystyrene(P4VP/PS) polymer nanoparticles as templates, in which the P4VP pyridyl moiety could react with Na 3 [Fe(CN) 5 HN 3 ] through ligand exchange reaction, and finally added FeCl 3 solution formation of PB-coated polymer nanoparticles. 57 In the work, polymers are used as templates, and then the size of the templates can be controlled by polymerization reaction to further control the size, which enriches the synthesis diversity of organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles composed of PBNPs. Shen et al used the prepared silver nanospheres and silver nanowires as sacrificial templates to prepare PB nanotubes and hollow PB nanospheres.…”
